AbstractPotassium ion is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and survival. involves several biochemical and physiological pathways and hence its regulation is essential for normal metabolism and cellular functions. homeostasis is maintained by many proteins in a coordinated manner. In barley at least fifteen proteins are directly involved in potassium transport. Interaction among these proteins forms a network along with forty-nine other proteins. We retrieved the potassium transporter interaction network from STRING and the network was analyzed for centrality measures using Cytoscape. Based on the centrality measures such as betweenness, bridging, closeness, degree, eccentricity, eigenvector, radiality and stress, the proteins MLOC_6793.2, MLOC_14891.1, MLOC_16944.1, MLOC_57408.2, and MLOC_63991.1 are found to be most important for the network. These five proteins interact among themselves and form a subgraph. MLOC_63991.1 is the most essential protein as it links other 4 proteins in the network. MLOC_63991.1 is a monomer with 769 amino acid sequences. This protein is predicted and described as potassium transporter.

Emergence of new professions and novel approaches to work contribute to newer causes of occupational stress. The current study focuses on one such emergent group namely, the software development professionals. An attempt has been made to examine the role of self-efficacy, collective efficacy and perception of control in the study of occupational stress. The data was collected from 156 software development professionals in India. Variables such as self-efficacy, collective efficacy and perception of control using multiple moderated regression revealed that these variables moderate the negative consequences of stress with respect to work exhaustion, organizational commitment and intent to turnover but not with respect to job satisfaction. The results indicate that self-efficacy and collective efficacy have to be strengthened in order to mitigate the negative consequences of stress. The knowledge pertaining to causes of stress can empower individuals and organizations to plan effective stress management interventions.
